@Niklas_L Always in close touch with customer /
user base, and respect for them. Focus on quality. Code stewardship mentality.
Good mixture of experience, always training juniors. Experienced people take
responsibility in order to give freedom, room to less experienced. Keep
promises.

Another day where writing test paid off. While developing I assumed that a
component is working, however, it dependende on a setting in my browsers
localStorage. Writing the UI test then helped me discover a bug when changing
this setting. >

@DistributeAid Yeah, for now it's faster to
build the form generation from scratch. I want to focus on our use case first
before making it generic. We need to repeat / disable sections based on answers,
have custom inputs for number + unit (e.g. food in cans, or palettes).

@fraclipe To the "vendor's trap" thing ... I
think one of the issues is that there are very few platforms, an no really open
one, so this vendor lock-in comes kinda natural. I think most OEMs run this way,
and conferences tend to follow what the market favors.

@mathiasverraes And Paul fails to provide
one example. This is typical manipulative speak: working with logically
irrefutable claims. In German we call this "Totschlagargument" (a claim that
trumps all others), and it's a sign of poor discussion ettiquette.

https://swc.rs/ is the best thing that has happened to the
JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem recently. I am using it now to run tests and
nodemon in a TypeScript project and it's AMAZINGLY fast.

However, hardware companies typically do not yet have experience running this
form of analytics because in the past it often was not possible. With always
connected devices (#cellulariot!) you suddenly have a convenienent and secure
way to send telemetry and to analize it.

This is one of many collaborations between the university and the industry, and
I think this is one of the strengths of the Norwegian education system.

It's a big difference from meeting people physically, and I miss that working on
conference boothes makes it so much easier for attendees to approach us. I think
doing this virtually puts the barrier much higher to start talking to us.

Replying to @Argorak

@Argorak Not sure how it is a failure of the
platform (web browser engine), that it needs a lot of resources to make the mess
that's web standards work. I guess this is your point, we could write better
standards, and better implementations of those, but then again could we really?

It's 2022 and HR systems still don't have their shit together which makes me
crave the legally binding function and easy of use of the FAX.

Replying to @kaylalunita

@kaylalunita I was impressed by your openness
to share and ability to invite others to contribute in the session you did at
SoCraTes. It felt both very self-reflected and extremely curious about others in
a very warm way.

Recruiters would do so much better if they'd focus and growth opportunities
instead of matching what candidates are currently doing. Because that's what
they have already, why go through so much effort to do the same somewhere else?

@katrinbretscher
@emilybache Finally, I'd like to say that
"software craft" is not a goal, but a journey, and for me the point is to have
an honest conversation about what we do and how we do it as humans in front of
computers and how that impacts ourselves, our coworkers, clients and society.
